Audi will introduce the next-gen A3 model that should go on sale later in 2021. Interestingly, a new model is already on sales overseas. This gives us an idea of how the new model could look like in the U.S. Dubbed as 40 TFSI e, this powertrain will find its place in the A3 Sportback model. We have plenty of details about the arriving sedan and that includes the latest exterior and interior changes. A new generation will look better, it will offer the PHEV version but it will also cost more. Audi A3 Sportback Plug-In Hybrid Specs As we said, we don’t know if the new 2023 Audi A3 Sportback Plug-In Hybrid will go on sale in the United States. This model will surely offer a hybrid variant in Europe. It combines a 1.4-liter turbo-four engine with an electric motor. The motor is mated to a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. This output is capable of producing 201 horsepower and almost 260 lb-ft of torque. The power is sent to the front wheels exclusively.

For a start, the 2023 Audi A3 Sportback Plug-In Hybrid will arrive with new 16-inch wheels and standard LED headlights. Moreover, Audi will slightly modify the rear section. On the inside, this modern sedan comes with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a 10.1-inch touchscreen. Audi offers a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster too.
